GL84 During the war in the Pacific, a female bomber-crew escorting another team home crash-lands on an island inhabited with Japanese soldiers along with a swarm of prehistoric pterodactyls and must work together to escape the creatures.While not being really bad, this here had some good points. One of the best is that there's a ton of action in here, much more than expected in this kind of film and really brings the pace along quite well. The film's fast pace and really enjoyable action make this one really fun, since it's always moving and never really slowing down and just keeps the film going. The air battles in here are top-notch, with a lot of absolutely fun and enjoyable battles in the skies, from the strong opening which manages to throw in some action and suspense that works here while the centerpiece battle in the middle of the film, which is the first course of action against them, is the biggest and the best with a lot of diving and twisting aerial maneuvers that showcase some great battle tactics on their side, and the sight of a plane flying into a sea of creatures with guns blazing, firing off rounds of ammo and tearing up dozens of creatures is good cheesy fun at it's best. It's also responsible for it's best kill, where the creature dives through a plane at full speed from above downward through the cockpit and tearing the plane to dozens of pieces, crashing into the waves below. A later air battle, which includes a couple great moments of the creatures making inroads on the planes leads to some great suspense, and the scene rarely suffers from lack of action as there's more fighting off the creatures in aerial battles in here. There's also a really fun sequence with them on-land as they sneak supplies away from the creature's nesting grounds, and when they arouse suspicion leads to some really fun chasing and encounters through the forest. The last part is the creatures in here are pretty cool as well, being really nice-looking and fearsome, and are one of the better designs available. These here are what really help the film as this one did have some flaws to it that held it down. One of the biggest here is that the film is really dry for a creature feature as there's hardly any gore in here. There's no blood in here from the kills, and with a respectable body count that this one has, it should've had something much bloodier. Some of this is the misplacement of the Japanese prisoners, since despite looking like prime meat for the creatures none of them come into contact with one and are killed off elsewhere, a huge misstep for their being included and another reason for the low blood-count. The last flaw is the utter and laughable CGI in here, which is frequently used and how often it fails to impress by looking exactly like a CGI creation. It's old-hat for these films, as they're often like that and another entry won't hurt it much. These here are the film's flaws.Rated PG-13: Violence and some Language.

xsfreetime I think it's wonderful that film industry executives support the work of filmmakers in the "Age 12 and Under" category. This filmmaker may have a bright future, although I wouldn't advise that he give up his paper route just yet.Dinosaur effects: 3 stars Script: 0 stars Acting: 0 stars I personally have not seen such screen presence since the team of Deacon Jones and Fred Biletnikoff as Vikings in the Lee Majors vehicle The Norseman (1978, look it up!). In retrospect I'm astounded that this film wasn't directed by Alan Smithee.

dbborroughs Made for Scifi scifi war film set during WW2 about a group of female fliers who normally shuttle planes from place to place being pressed into service in order to transport a an officer, his men and his secret cargo to a secret island. Along the way bad weather they are forced down on to an island by a storm and something else. Upon landing they find that the Japanese are on the island and so is some flying monsters who are very hungry.Goofy offbeat story of the sort that was done best in the 1950's or in comics actually plays pretty good in that vein assuming you accept it for what it is. Lets face it this is is a monsters vs planes story and as that this is a great deal of fun. Is it perfect? Oh lord no (Among other unanswered questions-why is an American truck on a Japanese held island?), but it is the sort of thing to curl with and just sort of have wash over you. Perfect for a night on the couch

Ray Humphries The plot premise and the CGI aren't all that bad. However, the plot development is atrocious. The WASP skipper can't take a single order without an argument. The "warbirds" out fly 300 MPH aircraft. They don't attack the Yanks in the Japanese camp after the first encounter -- they're scared off by the boy scout campfire? Gimme a break. They don't attack the B-29 under repair. Oops! We're fixing those two incinerated Wright R-3350-23 and 23A turbosupercharged radial engines with spare parts found laying around on a remote Japanese fighter base? Oh, and all the female flight crew just happen to be certified fighter jocks who are checked out in Japanese Zeros... yep.I can't believe that people write this kind of crap, expecting to sell it, and I really can't believe someone bought it and spent more money producing it, and I really, really can't believe Brian Krause doesn't make enough off "Charmed" residuals to run yelling and screaming far, far away after reviewing this script.I rate this a "One" simply because there is no "Zero" (pun)! You have to really wonder if the Sci Fi Channel would not be far, far better off rerunning old '50s B&W "Saturday Night at the Drive-In" features. Could somebody with a little clout make this recommendation before these guys self-immolate?
